California was the location yesterday when a debate occured among 4 Republican candidates. The time now had been a highly charged political period. John Edwards and Rudy Giuliani dropped out of the race offically yesterday. Rudy lost Florida and lost to Ron Paul in almost every state. Therefore, Giuliani had a very slim chance of earning the Republican nomination. Rudy Giulinai came to endorse John McCain, because in his mind, John McCain possessed massive experience in foreign policy (plus other justifications). The debate in the Reagan Library had Mike Huckabee, Ron Paul, John McCain, and Mitt Romney. The issues discussed ranged from the economy, abortion, the Iraq War, Ronald Reagan, and others. John McCain and Mitt Romney engaged in the most contentious exchange about the Iraq War and the economy. Romney admantedly denied advocating a public, specific timeline with the withdraw of U.S. G.I.s from Iraq. Also, each disagreed on taxes. Romney said that McCain didn't vote for Bush's tax cuts and McCain countered by accusing Romney of raising taxes in his state of Massachusetts. Ron Paul wanted to make his view known that excessive spending and currency devalument has decreased American standard of living plus other economic problems. Ron Paul also criticized borrowing money from China to pay for all of these programs since that will still increase the debt and will increase the money that America still will owe to foreign nations like China. Paul also said that George W. Bush once campaigned on a honest foreign policy then went into the neo conservative route having an unConstitutional war against Iraq. Some of the candidates endorse rebates and investments in infrastructure to develop the struggling economy. Romney said immediate solutions and long terms answers are needed to help the economic challenges not just infrastrcuture. John McCain oppose Putin. I disagree strongly with many of Putin's policies, but I wouldn't provoke nations like Russia into more agressive actions. I would have voluntarily communications with these nations like Russia, Iran, and others in trying to solve problems not create them. Mike Huckabee maintained that perserving innocent unborn life is important. He said that his reason was that if all human has instrintic worth and equal value, then its protection is important from conception to death. I'm not ashamed of being Pro-Life. I think the Pro-Life has grown stronger especially in the young population. Young people in the USA are more Pro-Life than the previous generation. Also, pro-abortionists can't refute ultrasound technology showing the humanity of the unborn, side effects of abortion, the goodness of abortion, or how abortion ends the life of a fellow human being that's innocent. This debate focused on Ronald Reagan. Reagan was a NWO puppet unforunately. He was not only a honorary 33rd Degree Freemason, but he was a dedicated ally of the Papacy. This is evident of why Ronald Reagan supported the 1984 agreement of sending a diplomat to the Vatican. Also, his leaders in his administration were prominent Vatican figures and agents like William Casey (who was a Knight of Malta. He was the Director of the CIA). Reagan worked with the Pope John Paul I (a man who publicly called for a new world order) to supposedly end Communism in the Soviet Union, but Communism and cartel-capitalism (which is in favor of a monopoly system not free will. One big banker of this mode was Knight of Malta Joseph J Larkin. He was the Vice President of Chase Manhattan Bank European Affairs) was funded by the Elite (who are in the leadership of the Vatican, the City of London with Pilgrims, etc.) for decades. Ronald Reagan was a proponent of anti-gun laws like the Mulford Act of 1967 & the Brady Bill. He also increased the deficit after he left office. One other big Vatican world leader is Konrad Hermann Josef Adenauer, who is a proponent of the European Union. Also, he was awarded a Knight of Malta cross by SMOM Grand Master Prince Chigi. Ephilution from Unhived Mind listed many Vatican connections to world power and I truly respect that. John McCain is gaining support among the Republican establishment like Florida governor Charlie Chris and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. Arnold and McCain agree on being anti-gun, pro-embryonic stem cell research, and pro-man made global warming (They want environmental problems solved by forcing America to take most of the responsibility instead of just focusing on investing in alternative forms of technology plus other independent solutions). These things I don't agree with. McCain, Gore, and others want nuclear power as a solution, which requires handling nuclear waste (a known toxic substance). Also, Gore and his clique ignore real environmental issues of the honeybee dying off, flouride in our water supplies, aspartame in our foods, MSG, toxic waste, rainforest depletion, etc. Arnold is a son of a Nazi (named Gustav Schwarzenegger) and praised Adolf Hitler in the 1970's. Arnold Schwarzenegger is one of those who are really anti-liberty. Robert Schmidt and James Rowley from Bloomberg at Thursday on January 31, 2008 reported on warrantless wiretapping. Both men wrote that getting rid of the wall in not promoting intelligence officials from sharing evidence with prosecutors have increased criminal investigations. Some defense lawyers and civil libertarians say that intelligence search warrants approved by a secret courts and a federal judge not allowed for a defendant to see surveilance request is against privacy rights. Congress is debating this issue of secret courts to supervise surveillance. I don't agree with warantless wiretaps or intelligence agencies holding secret courts to investigate criminal activities. David Edwards from Raw Story at Thursday on , January 31, 2008 talked about Bill Clinton confronting a heckler. Clinton, the Bilderberg and Jesuit puppet, said that 9/11 wasn't an inside job. That isn't true because an inside job means select people organized and carried out a terrorist attack for a specific end. By that definition alone, 9/11 is an inside job. There has been no evidence that al-Qaeda or Osama bin Laden (a known CIA agent) carried out every aspect of 9/11. In other words Osama didn't make NORAD stand down for a time, he didn't cause Building Number Seven to collapse mysteriously, Osama never made W199I restricting investigations of suspected terrorists, or Many credible, sane leader like the former Italian President Gladio Francesco called 9/11 an inside job. Many others think as well.Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are having a debate now about issues in California.

Other information is coming out. Bob Unruh from WorldNet Daily wrote that a Credit Card Company will not allow a gun dealer to purchase a gun because of concerns of not being sold in a face to face environment in other states. The National Shooting Sports Foundation responds that it's perfectly legal to sell a firearm to a non-license (consumer) from another state. This red tape in gun purchases has definitely decreased the effectiveness of the Second Amendment. Some of the biggest organization in support of getting rid of the right to bear arms are the Jesuits and the United Nations. Gun control is always a new world order tenet. That's why Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Castro, Idi Amin, and other dictators enacted these fascist radical gun banning policies in suppressing individual liberty. For thousands of years, leaders from Cicero (an ancient Roman major political figure), Jesus Christ, and even some of the Founding Fathers advanced the view of self defense and a right to own weapons. WDSUfrom January 28, 2008 talked about a North American summit meeting in New Orleans. Included in that city are leaders of Canada (Harper) and Mexico (Calderon). They will discuss North American issues and critics call this meeting similar to the Montebello one is Canada, which was about North American integration. I strongly disagree with North American integration or a creation of a North American Union. That's why we should have our national sovereignity entacted and our private property rights preserved. There has been a controversy about John McCain and his agenda. McCain voted in favor of McCain-Feingold, which even the Supreme Court cited areas of it that are against the First Amendment. Even the ACLU opposed it which is telling something. McCain also supported the amnesty bill. McCain exhorted to people that he heard the American people and wants the borders secured first. Juan Hernandez supports McCain and he's a dual American-Mexican citizen. Jerome Corsi criticized him as advocating a Mexico first philosophy (for example,in ABC's Nightline in 2001 Juan said that Mexican immigrants should think Mexico first). On the other hand, many patriotic Hispanic Americans oppose illegal immigration and want the best for America. I want to make that clear. Jeremy Scahillfrom AlterNet on January 29, 2008 reported on Blackwater protestors. Jeremy reported on how Blackwater protestors had a secret trial and conviction when they were disruptive in the courtroom. Blackwater has many Knight of Malta control and was involved in killing many innocent civilians many months ago. They appealed their convictions. This presents many challenges in reforming radically our legal system. Some who are innocent have been unfairly convicted for eons across the world not just in America. Now, Montell Williams wants to report on politics more. Montel Williams recently came on the Fox News in the Morning Show to express his opposition to the Iraq War. Montell wanted more crucial reporting on the deaths of American servicemen and women, which is a right position to take. While, I respect his courage handling MS, he lost some credibility with his continued support of Sylvia Browne. Sylvia is a Gnostic psychic who made numerous false predictions like the West Virginia miners being alive. In truth, the miners died in that tragedy. It just shows you that you can't trust anyone 100%. Only trust God Almighty 100% of the time and investigate what I say for I'm fallible not infallible. Hypocrispy ought to be exposed. Many hypocritically claim to support the environment. Yet, some of them want to Criminalize the ownership of incandescent light bulbs, despite the fact that "energy saving light bulbs" are loaded with toxic waste that's already banned under EU regulations. They also contain deadly Mercury which will end up in our land fills and our water supply once use of the new CFL bulbs becomes mandatory.CNN reported on toxic trailers in this after of the Hurricane Katrina disaster. We have huge challenges. Google Video on January 30, 2008 reported on DARPA's new advanced technology. These technologies relates to Big Brother. They includes A.I., "NBIC", the "Global Information Grid", nanotechnology, biotechnology, autonomous drones, "naval sea-bases", etc. Many of these programs are controlled by the Pentagon and relates to the transhumanist agenda among some technocrats. It's also an extreme violation of our personal liberty and privacy.One way for us to live our lives more effectively is trying to get rid of monopolies. Those who endorse a new world order usual want centralized control, bureaucrats instead of the people controlling society (and some of them wanting to exploit America to try to create a "New Atlantis" utopia endorsed by Francis Bacon who was a Rosicrucian), and a monopoly of life in general. We can have change with an independent mind. Also, we need not to promote violence, but peaceful means to find answers in our lives. Individuals should independence. That's why I won't stop. I will expose the Vatican, Masonry, occult Secret Societies, false religions, and any evil. I love liberty. I will the courage of my own convictions and I will not back down.

London Dinner for Joseph Kennedy - Joseph P. Kennedy (center), U.S. Ambassador to England, surrounded by some of the prominent Britishers, including royalty, who attended the dinner given in honor of Ambassador Kennedy, the the Pilgrims Society of London. Left to right are; Walter Elliot; Lord Halifax, the British Foreign Secretary; Mr. Kennedy; The Duke of Kent, Brother of King George VI; and Lord Derby, who presided. c. 1937-40

Joseph Patrick "Joe" Kennedy, Sr. (September 6, 1888 – November 18, 1969) was a prominent United States businessman and political figure, and the father of President John F. Kennedy and Senators Robert F. Kennedy and Ted Kennedy. He was a leading member of the Democratic Party and of the Irish Catholic community. He served briefly as the United States Ambassador to the United Kingdom at the start of World War II. His term as Ambassador and his political ambitions ended abruptly during the height of the Battle of Britain in November 1940, with the publishing of his disastrous remarks that "Democracy is finished...". With nationwide business interests and political connections, Kennedy worked behind the scenes his last decades to continue building both the financial and political fortunes of the Kennedy family while furthering his own political ambitions through his sons.

Using his inherent talent, drive, and devotion to the Association, Cardinal Spellman was able to enlist the aid of some of America’s elite, including: John J. Raskob, chairman of General Motors; John Farrell, then president of U.S. Steel; Joseph P. Grace of W.R. Grace & Co.; Joseph Kennedy, a Boston entrepreneur; George MacDonald of Pennsylvania; and John D. Ryan.

Lido Anthony "Lee" Iacocca (born October 15, 1924) is an American industrialist most commonly known for his revival of the Chrysler brand in the 1980s when he was the CEO. Among the most widely recognized businessmen in the world, he was a passionate advocate of U.S. business exports during the 1980s. He is the author or co-author of several books, including Iacocca: An Autobiography (with William Novak), and Where have all the Leaders Gone?

Ford

Iacocca joined Ford in the early 1950s and after a brief stint on engineering, he quickly asked to be moved to sales and marketing where his career flourished. While working in a local district for sales, Iacocca gained national recognition in 1956 with his "56 for 56" campaign, offering $56 monthly payment loans for 1956 model year cars. His campaign went national and Iacocca was called to Dearborn where he quickly moved through the ranks to become President of the Ford Division on his 40th birthday, October 15, 1964.

Iacocca was involved with the design of several successful Ford automobiles, most notably the Ford Mustang. Also, he was responsible for the Lincoln Continental Mark III, the Ford Fiesta and the revival of the Mercury brand in the late 1960's, including the introduction of the Mercury Cougar and Mercury Marquis. He was also the "moving force," as one court put it, behind the notorious Ford Pinto [1]. He promoted other ideas which did not reach the marketplace as Ford products. These included cars ultimately introduced by Chrysler- the K car and the minivan. Eventually, he became the president of the Ford Motor Company, but he clashed with Henry Ford II and ultimately, in 1978, he was fired by Henry II, despite Ford posting a $2 billion profit for the year.

Prominent knights dot the business and political landscapes. Lee A. Iacocca, a knight for decades, is part of a bid by investor Kirk Kerkorian to take over Chrysler Corp., whose directors include at least one other knight--former Health, Education & Welfare Secretary Joseph A. Califano.[...]In the New World, though, the rules for admission are somewhat relaxed by necessity. Still, being inducted is a big deal.``You're joining select company,'' says Iacocca.

Konrad Hermann Josef Adenauer (IPA: [kɔnʁa:t hɛɐman jozef a:denaʊeɐ]), January 5, 1876 – April 19, 1967) was a German statesman. Although his political career spanned 60 years, beginning as early as 1906, he is most noted for his role as the first Chancellor of West Germany from 1949–1963 and chairman of the Christian Democratic Union from 1950 to 1966. He was the oldest chancellor ever to serve Germany, leaving at the age of 87.

Early life

Konrad Adenauer was born as the third of five children of Johann Konrad Adenauer (1833-1906) and his wife Helene (1849-1919) (née Scharfenberg) in Cologne. His siblings were August (1872-1952), Johannes (1873-1937), Lilli (1879-1950) and Elisabeth, who died shortly after birth. In 1894, he completed his Abitur and started to study law and politics at the universities of Freiburg, Munich and Bonn. He was a member of several Roman Catholic students’ associations under the K.St.V. Arminia Bonn in Bonn. He finished his studies in 1901. Afterwards he worked as a lawyer at the court in Cologne.

Early political career

As a devout Roman Catholic, he joined the Centre Party in 1906 and was elected to Cologne’s city council in the same year. In 1909, he became Vice-Mayor of Cologne. From 1917 to 1933, he served as Mayor of Cologne. He had the unpleasant task of heading Cologne in the era of British occupation following the First World War and lasting until 1926. He managed to establish faithful relations with the British military authorities and flirted with Rhenish separatism (a Rhenish state as part of Germany, but outside Prussia). During the Weimar Republic, he was president of the Prussian State Council (Preußischer Staatsrat) from 1922 to 1933, which was the representative of the Prussian cities and provinces.

When the Nazis rose to power in 1933, the Centre Party lost the “elections” in Cologne and Adenauer fled to the abbey of Maria Laach, threatened by the new government after he had refused even to shake hands with a local Nazi leader. The hosting of Adenauer for a year at this abbey was cited by its abbot after the war, when accused by Heinrich Böll and others of collaboration with the Nazis.

He was imprisoned briefly after the Night of the Long Knives. During the next two years, he changed residences often due to reprisals inflicted on him by the Nazis. In 1937, he was successful in claiming at least some compensation for his once confiscated house and managed to live in seclusion for some years.

According to Albert Speer in his Spandau: The Secret Diaries, Hitler expressed admiration for Adenauer, noting his building of a road circling the city as a bypass, and of a “green belt” of parks. However, both Hitler and Speer felt that due to Adenauer’s principal political views and general stubbornness, he couldn’t possibly play any role within their movement nor be helpful to the Nazi party in any way.

After the failed assassination attempt on Hitler, in 1944, he was imprisoned for the second time, being known as an opponent of the regime. But no active role in the plot could be connected to him by the Gestapo and he was released some weeks later. Shortly after the war, the Americans installed him again as Mayor of Cologne, but the British administration dismissed him for his alleged incompetence.

Adenauer was a lawyer and a member of the Catholic Center party. Became lord mayor of Cologne 1917. Became a devout follower of the Paneuropa Union, set up in 1923 by Count Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi, son of an Austro-Hungarian diplomat. The Paneuropa was also quickly embraced by the Habsburgs, the Vatican, and the soon to be founded Opus Dei. Member of the provincial diet of Rhine province from 1917 to 1933, when he was dismissed by the National Socialist (Nazi) regime. Twice imprisoned, in 1933 and 1944, by the Nazis. Co-founder of the Christian Democratic Union (1945) and its president from 1946 to 1966. Attended the May 1948 Congress of Europe, which was convened by the United Europe Movement in The Hague. It was organized by Jean Monnet with the help of Joseph Retinger. Its chairman was Winston Churchill while Alcide de Gasperi, Paul Henri Spaak, Leon Blum, and Robert Schuman attended the conference. Chancellor of the Federal Republic of West Germany 1949-1963. Served as his own foreign minister 1951-1955. Took up Hans Globke in his secretariat and made State secretary and his most important National Security Advisor from 1953 to 1963. Globke was a former catholic Nazi collaborator (including persecution of the Jews), who wasn't allowed to join the Nazi party, because of his strong catholic affiliation. That's the only reason Globke's career (and freedom) survived during the de-nazification program right after WWII. Globke, often seen as Adenauer's Eminence Grise, brought Reinhard Gehlen in contact with Adenauer. Adenauer had also taken up Franz-Joseph Bach, a later organiser of Cercle meetings, to run his secretariat. Adenauer was hardline in his policies towards the USSR. Secretly contacted by Monnet and Schuman over the "Schuman Plan" (Monnet Plan) in 1950 to establish the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) in 1951. After Adenauer agreed, the plan went public. Negotiated the 1952 West German peace treaty with the Western Allies and obtained recognition of West Germany's full sovereignty through the Paris Pacts (ECSC) and through an agreement with the USSR in 1955. Friend of Charles De Gaulle. Received the Charlemagne award in 1954. In 1956, Adenauer chose former Nazi general Reinhard Gehlen as the initial chief of the BND, West Germany's post-war intelligence agency that succeeded the Gehlen Organization. Earlier, Adenauer had allowed Gehlen to run his Gehlen Organization, undoubtedly at the recommendation of the CIA. The political architect of the astounding West German recovery (quite possibly through the Bormann flight capital), he saw the solution of German problems in terms of European integration, and he helped secure West Germany's membership in the various organizations of what has become the European Union. One of the signers of the Treaty of Rome in 1957, which founded the European Economic Community. In 1961 his party lost its absolute majority in the Bundestag, and he formed a coalition cabinet with the Free Democrats. In 1962 a cabinet crisis arose over the government's raid of the offices of the magazine Der Spiegel, which had attacked the Adenauer regime for military unpreparedness. Resigned from public office in 1963. Adenauer received the Magistral Grand Cross personally from SMOM (The Sovereign Military Order of Malta) Grand Master Prince Chigi.

SMOM's influence in Germany survived World War II intact. On November 17, 1948 SMOM awarded one of its highest honors, the Grand Cross of Merit, to Reinhard Gehlen, the Nazi chief of intelligence on the Soviet front. He was subsequently installed by the Americans as the first chief of West Germany's equivalent of the CIA, the Bundesnachtrichtdienst (BND: federal secret service), under West German Chancellor Adenauer, a devout Catholic who had received the Magistral Grand Cross personally from SMOM Grand Master Prince Chigi.

Adenauer not only was member of the SMOM he received other Papal Orders as well:

QUOTE

Admission to the Supreme Order of Christ, the Pontifical Order of the Golden Spur and the Collar of the Pontifical Order of Pius IX are reserved solely for reigning Sovereigns and Heads of State. They are very rarely bestowed and only then during significant state and official visits made to the Vatican City by foreign dignitaries or during a state, official or pastoral visit made by the Supreme Pontiff to foreign country.

The Supreme Order of Christ can only be bestowed on Heads of State professing the Roman Catholic faith. Among previous recipients were HE President Charles de Gaulle of the French Republic, HE President Antonio Segni of the Italian Republic, President Eamon de Valera of Ireland (right) and German Federal Chancellor Dr Konrad Adenauer.

Turning to Germany, the ex-intelligence man had further dramatic revelations. He avowed that the US Office of Policy Co-ordination, which fronted for the CIA, had "incorporated lock, stock and barrel the espionage outfit run by Hitler's spy chief Reinhard Gehlen

"This is well known", he commented, "because Gehlen was the spiritual father of Stay Behind in Germany and his role was known to the West German leader, Konrad Adenauer, from the outset. Adenauer signed a secret protocol with the US on West Germany's entry into NATO in May 1955 in which it was agreed that the West German authorities would refrain from active legal pursuit of known right-wing extremists.

"What is not so well-known", he went on, "is that other top German politicians were privy to the existence of secret resistance plans. One of these was the then German State Secretary and former high-ranking nazi, Hans Globke".

Elaborating on this, our source said that the operation drew its main personnel from former SS and Waffen SS men during the early post-war years and that these were trained by officers of the British SIS. Later the operation was taken over by a secret wing of the Federal German Intelligence Service, the BND.

Wow. Thank you so much for bumping this back up. Yeah, Bollyn was attacked. The best Piper could do was say the Jewish Rothschilds controlled the CFR. He had no rebuttal to Phelps talking about the deeding of Jerusalem to the Vatican and once Phelps started mentioning all these knights of malta, Piper just tried to write it off as a meaningless 'old boys club,' and that all the connections to this Malta group is nothing significant. Check out AGENTS OF DECEPTION for the phony attack by a white nationalist on Christopher Bollyn, and also ORDER OF THE ILLUMINATI for the topic BOLLYN FAMILY SAFE AND WELL. The tactics to smear Bollyn are exposed. Keep in mind also that one of the biggest attackers of Bollyn who sided with the Hoffman Estates Police Department and figured Bollyn exaggerated his injuries, were wingtv. For their lies concerning Bollyn's assault, Hufschmid and Bollyn taught them a lesson.I recall how once he talked about maybe Ariel Sharon AND SIMON PERES were involved with 9-11. In other words, he was getting close to Rome, but not enough.

Bill Clinton wants you to suffer. “We just have to slow down our economy and cut back our greenhouse gas emissions ’cause we have to save the planet for our grandchildren,” said Bill.But not to despair because, as usual, all of this suffering and misery will eventually pay off, according to the Bill-miester.During a “long, and interesting speech” in Denver, Colorado, stumping for his wife the Bilderberg Queen, writes ABC News “blogger” Jake Tapper, Clinton promised all the suffering and sacrifice “could ultimately increase jobs and raise wages with a good energy plan.”How many times have politicians told us we must trade suffering and sacrifice for a rainbow and pot of gold down the road? Of course, the pay day never arrives and, in a few months or years, more sacrifice is demanded — ever more, endlessly. Remember back in the early 1990s when Bill told us NAFTA would result in more and better paying jobs? Of course, the exact opposite occurred, as good jobs were shipped off to Mexican maquiladoras and ultimately ended up in China where slaves labor under the sadistic whip of authoritarian bureaucrats for fifty cents an hour, if they’re lucky.

Said Clinton: “And maybe America, and Europe, and Japan, and Canada — the rich counties — would say, ‘OK, we just have to slow down our economy and cut back our greenhouse gas emissions ’cause we have to save the planet for our grandchildren.’”Rich countries? Actually, the average American’s wage and standard of living has fallen sharply since the 1970s. According to official statistics, as of 2004 there were 37 million people living in poverty in 2004, or 12.7% of the population, up from 12.5% in 2003. “Nationally, the poverty rate leveled off last year at 12.6 percent after increasing every year since the decade began. It was a period when the country went through a recession and an uneven recovery that is still sputtering in parts of the Northeast and Midwest,” CBS reported in 2006, and the 2005 census reveals that 16 million Americans — a 32 year high — are living in extreme poverty, defined as a meager $9,903 a year.

Bill would have those grinding away in poverty earn even less and suffer more — to save the planet, of course, never mind that “global warming” is junk science at best.But then “global warming” and “climate change” are simply the latest in a series of scams to pauperize the populace, as our rulers have long range plans to reduce the planet to a feudal plantation that will make medieval peasantry bonds of manorialism pale by way of comparison.It makes sense to enlist Bill and his Bilderberg door-stop wife to push this plan. Strangely and yet predictably, millions of Americans listen to Bill, who is a consummate actor and accomplished liar — as most sociopaths are — and people actually like him, thanks to years of corporate media hype, including his “all too human” moment of weakness with Monica Lewinsky.Unfortunately, as “Paper Collar Joe” Bessimer famously noted, “there’s a sucker born every minute… and two to take ‘em.”

Libertarians preach the morality of the market, and socialists preach the morality of the state. Those convinced of the market's morality want deregulation; those convinced of the state's morality want regulation.

In truth, neither seems to work.

Consider for example the rules against collusion. The political left imposed this regulatory rule in order to prevent monopoly behavior by companies. One consequence has been that, unable to collude, firms are slaves to their bottom lines. In order to compete successfully in the competitive new world of globalism, firms have curtailed pensions and health insurance for their employees.

Or consider the regulation of new drugs, which drives up costs and delays remedies without, apparently, doing much to improve safety.

Or the fleet mileage standards that regulation imposes on car makers. These regulations destroyed the family station wagon. Families needing carrying capacity turned to vans and to panel trucks. Car makers saw a new market and invented the SUV, which as a "light truck" was exempt from the fleet milage regulations. The effort to impose fuel economy resulted in cars being replaced by overweight fuel-guzzling SUVs.

(Article continues below)

On the other hand, consider the current troubles resulting from banking and financial deregulation. The losses from this one crisis greatly exceed any gains from deregulation.

Or consider the plight of the deregulated airlines and deterioration in the quality of air service. Or the higher costs of telephone service and the loss of a blue chip stock for widows and retirement funds that resulted from breaking up AT&T. Or the scandals and uncertainties from utility deregulation which permits nonenergy producers like Enron to contract to deliver electric power.

Economists claim that deregulation results in lower prices. Cheap advanced fare airline ticket prices are cited as evidence. What these economists mean is that the fares without stopovers are cheap to people who can plan their trips in advance. Other passengers subsidize these advanced fares by paying four times as much. Moreover, deregulation has created bottom-line competition that has lowered service, removed meals, and results in periodic bankruptcy, thus forcing the airlines' creditors to pay for the low fares. Pilots, flight attendants, and aircraft maintenance crews subsidize the lower fares with reductions in salaries and pension benefits. Are bankruptcies and mergers leading the industry toward one carrier and the re-emergence of regulation?

Consider the fallout from trucking deregulation. As in the case of the airlines, the claim was that more communities would be served and costs would decline. But which costs? Deregulation made every minute a bottom-line item. Trucks became bigger, heavier, and travel at higher speeds. Highway safety suffers, and highway maintenance costs rise. The courtesy of truck drivers declined. When trucking was regulated, truckers would stop to help people whose cars had broken down. Today that would throw off the schedule and threaten the bottom-line.

Economists dismiss costs that aren't included in price. For them the cost that matters is the price paid by consumers. The truck that gets there faster delivers cheaper to the consumer. The myriad ways in which people pay the price of deregulation are not part of the price paid at the checkout counter.

Economists also say that offshoring lowers Wal-Mart prices, thus benefiting the consumer. They don't say that by moving jobs abroad offshoring reduces the job opportunities and lifetime earnings of the US labor force, or that it wrecks the finances of the laid-off US workers and destroys the tax base of their local communities. None of these costs of offshoring enter into the price of the offshored goods that Americans purchase.

Privatization vs. socialization is another dimension of the conflict. Those who distrust the power of private ownership put faith in public ownership, and those who distrust the power of the state find freedom to be imperiled in the absence of private ownership. Twentieth century experience established that public ownership is economically inefficient without producing offsetting gains in public welfare. Those in charge of nationalized firms live well both at the expense of taxpayers and consumers.

Nevertheless, privatization can be pushed too far, and it has. As a result of the upfront cost of building prisons and their high operating costs when in government hands, prisons are being privatized and have become profit-making ventures. Governments avoid the construction costs and contract for incarceration services. Allegedly, the greater efficiency of the private operation lowers the cost.

Private prisons, however, require a constant stream of prisoners. They cannot afford to have vacant cells. If incarceration rates fell, profits would disappear and bankruptcy would descend upon the owners. Thus, privatized prisons create a demand for criminals and, as a result, might actually raise the total cost of incarceration.

The US -- the "land of liberty" -- has the largest prison population in the world. With 5 percent of the world's population, the US has 25 percent of the prison population. The US has 1.3 million more people in prison than crime-ridden Russia, and 700,000 more prisoners than authoritarian China, which has a population four times larger.

In the US, the number and kind of crimes have exploded. Prisons are full of drug users, and the US now has "hate crimes" such as the use of constitutionally protected free speech against "protected minorities." It is in the self-interest of prison investors to agitate for yet more criminalization of civil liberties and ordinary human behavior.

The case for deregulation is as ideological as the case for regulation. There is no open-and-shut case for either approach. Such issues should be decided on their merits, but usually are decided by the reigning ideology of an epoch or by powerful interest groups.

The Bush regime has deregulated the government in the sense that the regime has removed constraints that the Founders put on executive power. This was done in the name of the "war on terror." Simultaneously, Bush has increased the regulation of our travel and communication, spying on our Internet use and specifying to the ounce the quantities of toothpaste and shampoo with which Americans can board commercial airliners.

Crises destroy liberty. Lincoln used the crisis of states withdrawing from the union to destroy states' rights, an essential preservative of liberty in the minds of the Founders. Roosevelt used the Great Depression to destroy the legislative power of Congress by having that power delegated to federal agencies. Bush used 9/11 to assault the civil liberties that protect Americans from a police state.

Perhaps we have now reached a point where both libertarians and left-wingers can agree that the US government desperately needs to be reregulated and again held accountable to the people.

It took 75 years, but the Reichstag Fire patsy, Marinus van der Lubbe, has been exonerated of his "crime". The Guardian covered the news on January 12, and the New York Times mentions it today, 7 paragraphs into this article.

The innocence of van der Lubbe has been common knowledge to some for decades, and the truth of his "crime" was popularized by William Shirer in his classic book, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" back in 1960;

"That it was a crime, a Communist crime, they proclaimed at once on arrival at the fire. Goering, sweating and puffing and quite beside himself with excitement, was already there ahead of them (Hitler, President von Hindenburg, etc.) declaiming to heaven, as Papen later recalled, that "this is a Communist crime against the new government." To the new Gestapo chief, Rudolf Diels, Goering shouted, "This is the beginning of the Communist revolution! We must not wait a minute. We will show no mercy. Every Communist official must be shot, where he is found. Every Communist deputy must this very night be strung up."

The whole truth about the Reichstag fire will probably never be known. Nearly all those who knew it are now dead, most of them slain by Hitler in the months that followed. Even at Nuremburg the mystery could not be entirely unraveled, though there is enough evidence to establish beyond a reasonable doubt that it was the Nazis who planned the arson and carried it out for their own political ends.

From Goering's Reichstag President's Palace an underground passage, built to carry the central heating system, ran to the Reichstag building. Through this tunnel Karl Ernst, a former hotel bellhop who had become the Berlin S.A. leader, led a small detachment of storm troopers on the night of February 27 to the Reichstag, where they scattered gasoline and self-igniting chemicals and then made their way quickly back to the palace the way they had come. At the same time a half-witted Dutch Communist with a passion for arson, Marinus van der Lubbe, had made his way into the huge, darkened and to him unfamiliar building and set some small fires of his own. This feeble-minded pyromaniac was a godsend to the Nazis. He had been picked up by the S.A. a few days before after having been overheard in a bar boasting that he had attempted to set fire to several buildings and that he was going to try the Reichstag next.

The coincidence that the Nazis had found a demented Communist arsonist who was out to to do exactly what they themselves had determined to do seems incredible but is nevertheless supported by the evidence. The idea for the fire almost certainly originated with Goebbels and Goering. Hans Gisevius, an official in the Prussian Ministry of the Interior at the time, testified at Nuremburg that "it was Goebbels who first thought of setting the Reichstag on fire," and Rudolf Diels, the Gestapo chief, added in an affadavit that "Goering knew exactly how the fire was to be started" and had ordered him to prepare, prior to the fire, a list of people who were to be arrested immediately after it." - William L. Shirer, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, pp. 192-193 (Emphasis added.)

This was constructed almost entirely using government / military quotes, animations, videos, images and photos. The narrative is sourced ... all » from government quotes from start to finish. It is the “official version”, if you will, but in an unprecedented format.

The only debate is: what are we going to do to stop it? Time’s running out…

It mostly centers around DARPA materials, as they’re the fountainhead of all of this, but this is all a broad multi-agency effort.

Re: Ah Climate change...--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Hold on... its about to get a "lot" scarier.

I know that you have something of a computer background...

do this...

use the internet...

search on solar activity and changes in the solar stream and magnetic fields in the past 30 years. Then correlate what you find with both tectonic stresses and climatic changes.

It will blow your mind.

The sun is growing both hotter and more unstable, and there is just not a lot that we can do about it.

If we put out the pollution level of the middle ages, it would not change the climate. By the way, I have a good chunk of an Environmental Science Degree under my belt... I love it! I have always been an Environmentalist (within reason) and believe that we need to take a whole lot better care of the environment than we do. We are not being good stewards of the Earth.

But we are not causing either global cooling or global warming. The sun is.

This commentary was posted this morning. I thought I'd post it as a separate topic of discussion spinning off the SWAT team discussion, since homeschooling has been mentioned by several of us as a reason Social Services has tried meddling with our families.

The same government that wants to peer into our homes to detect "abuse" can't seem to stop it from happening right under their noses in the government schools, sometimes at the hands of their own employees. Yet somehow this same bureaucracy is competent (constitutional issues aside for the moment) to invade and inspect the homes of people who are the victims of anonymous tipsters claiming "abuse and neglect"._________________"When Christ calls a man, He bids him come and die." -Dietrich Bonhoeffer

NAU’s North American Leader’s Summit to be Held in New Orleans WDSUJanuary 28, 2008President George W. Bush failed to mention the plight of New Orleans in his previous State of the Union addresss and has overseen what some call more than two years of neglect since Hurricane Katrina.During his address Monday, however, he was applauded for his plans to bring a high-profile summit to the business-hungry town.

Bush announced during the address that he, the Prime Minister of Canada, and the President of Mexico will visit New Orleans in April for the fourth annual North American Leader’s Summit.Last year’s meeting took place in Quebec, Canada, and drew more than 1,000 labor and environmental activists who did not agree with the policies of North America’s political leaders.But even Bush’s most vocal critics said the event, and the forums and seminars expected to be organized around its periphery, will be a benefit to New Orleans.U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu said the meeting will be a great opportunity to showcase that the Gulf Coast is coming back.

President Bush yesterday signed the 2008 National Defense Authorization Act after initially rejecting Congress’s first version because it would have allegedly opened the Iraqi government to “expensive lawsuits.”

Even though he forced Congress to change its original bill, Bush’s signature yesterday came with a little-noticed signing statement, claiming that provisions in the law “could inhibit the President’s ability to carry out his constitutional obligations.” CQ reports on the provisions Bush plans to disregard:

One such provision sets up a commission to probe contracting fraud in Iraq and Afghanistan. Another expands protections for whistleblowers who work for government contractors. A third requires that U.S. intelligence agencies promptly respond to congressional requests for documents. And a fourth bars funding for permanent bases in Iraq and for any action that exercises U.S. control over Iraq’s oil money.

Involved in those declaration of principles, there is an implicit potential for the United States military forces, years from now, being involved in a full-blown civil war in Iraq. And I don’t believe that’s where the American people want us and I don’t think that’s in the best interest of our national security.

Earlier this month, Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) introduced legislation requiring the Bush administration “to consult with Congress before moving forward with any agreement that could lead to long term security arrangements and other major economic and political commitments.”

Throughout his presidency, Bush has issued more than 151 signing statements challenging 1149 provisions of laws.

January 29, 2008Able Danger and The Reflecting Pool, two separate motion pictures based on the non-official version of what happened on 9/11, will be premiering this January. The two independently made drama films confront the viewer with the facts that 9/11 could not have been perpetrated by the 19 hijackers and deal with the question who might be behind the crime of the century. Able Danger premiers Monday 28 January at the Rotterdam Film Festival in the Netherlands. The Reflecting Pool will premiere on 31 January in the Aero Theatre in Santa Monica, USA. - Watch the trailers at the bottom of this article.Able Danger

Able Danger is a movie based on the fact of an official unit called Able Danger, comprised of United States intelligence personnel. The unit observed ringleader Mohammed Atta and his hijackers, but was not allowed to provide the FBI and later the 9/11 Commission with their data. More than a year before the attacks on 11 September 2001 it destroyed the gathered information, worth 2,5 terabytes, equal to one fourth of the printed books in the Library of Congress. In reality, says Webster Tarpley, author of Synthetic Terror - Made in USA, Able Danger took care of the hijackers in order for the group to be the real life cover story for 9/11. Watch Tarpley explain the system behind the hijackers and the controllers. Watch news clips about Able Danger.

In a reaction Tarpley writes to me: ‘In my analysis, Able Danger were terrorist controllers and terrorist monitors who observed carefully what the various patsies were doing in order to check up on them and make sure they were following orders and conforming to the strateghy set by the rogue network. The obvious problem of Agentenfuehrung is to make sure such criminal types do what you want, not what they may want. They have to be supervised by case officers directly, and also constantly observed. Able Danger did the observing part. Door Hop Galley is another unit inside Able Danger which has never been explained. Congressman Weldon thought he could use Able Danger against the Kean-Hamilton commission and the Democrats, but he was meddling in something much more explosive, so he was politically and personally destroyed’.Eventhough the voice of Tarpley features prominently in the trailer (see below) of the movie Able Danger, he is not part of it. The movie is about a character called Thomas Flynn, who is the quixotic publisher of a hard-hitting 9/11 conspiracy expose, implicated in the murder of his friend and employee. At the same time he finds himself entangled with a mysterious Eastern European beauty, Kasia. As it turns out, Kasia possesses the smoking gun that proves the identities and methods of the real architects of 9/11, and Thomas willing to risk everything to expose the truth.Movie director Paul Krik writes: ‘DeepJournal, it seems to me, lives in the film noir perspective. You look at the news events and see beyond its news spin to its true cause. My story is about someone like you, who lives in Brooklyn and runs a cafe and publishes alternative media. But the movie begins when a femme fatale out of a 40s noir movie who works for the ’shadow government’ enters his cafe … The movie is fiction!’Able Danger premiers Monday 28 January at the Rotterdam Film Festival in the Netherlands, (Pathé 7, 21.45 hrs). Writer/director Paul Krik will be present and lead actress Elina Löwensohn. Press and industry can watch it the previous day, (Cinerama 2, 22.30 hrs). Additional public screenings on Tuesday 29 (Cinerama 7, 20.00 hrs) and on Friday 1 February (Pathé 7, 19.15 hrs).

The Reflecting Pool

The fictional movie The Reflecting Pool, announced earlier by DeepJournal, is about a successful journalist called Alex Prokop, who receives a rare 9/11 videotape revealing new information on the attacks. The footage was sent by a driven researcher by the name of Paul Cooper, whose daughter died on 9/11. Sensing a good story, Prokop travels with Cooper to New York and Washington, DC, where they uncover suppressed information about the attacks. As Cooper introduces Prokop to key eyewitnesses, the façade of the "official story" begins to crumble.Prokop hears accounts of underground explosions in the Twin Towers moments before their collapse, and discovers that a firm run by the President’s brother provided security for WTC.We follow Alex and Cooper as they investigate the inexplicable collapse of the 47-story WTC Building Seven, disprove the implausible airliner "attack" on the Pentagon, and uncover the illegal destruction of physical evidence from Ground Zero. Alex’s search for the truth leads to a dangerous and shocking realization.

The Reflecting Pool premiers Thursday 31 January at the Aero Theatre in Santa Monica, California, USA (19.30 hrs), followed by a Q&A with the filmmakers. Next is the opening on Saturday 2 February in the Laemmle’s Monica 4-plex, Santa Monica Sphere: Related Content
